Biosketch	Dr. Michael Hoane received his Ph.D. in experimental psychology with a concentration in neuroscience from Texas Christian University in 1996. Following graduation, Dr. Hoane received post-doctoral training in behavioral neuroscience and neurobiology at Emory University School of Medicine, CytoTherapeutics, and Northwestern University School of Medicine. He joined the BCS program as an assistant professor in the fall of 2004. Dr. Hoane has published a number of papers and several book chapters on recovery of function following traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative disease. One of his main lines of research focuses on the investigation of the use of vita-nutrients (Mg ++ , B vitamins, vitamin D, etc.) to improve pathophysiological and functional outcome following traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. A second line of research is focused on developing cell replacement therapies for the treatment of brain injury and neurodegenerative disease.
